- LV Insights X software key to accelerating energy transition and path to net zero
- Future-proof software to increase grid capacity in existing power networks
- Distribution grid operators can set up digital twin of low-voltage grids
- Reduced outage times by up to 30 percent, increased insights on critical segments, capacity and limit violations of power grid
- LV Insights X is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
Siemens is taking
another important step to accelerate the energy transition: As an industry
first, the company today presented its newly developed software for low-voltage
grids. LV Insights X software, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio,
enables distribution grid operators (DSO) to tackle their most pressing
challenge: the need to significantly increase grid capacity while grids are
already pushed to their limits by the fast increase of decentralized renewable
energy infeed and additional consumers such as EV chargers or heat pumps. To avoid
power grids from becoming the bottleneck of the energy transition, utilities urgently
need to increase their grid capacity and actively manage the low-voltage grid.

- Snälltåget
implements Sqills S3 Passenger from Sqills, a subsidiary of Siemens Mobility
- Implementation
to support with longest night train route in the EU
- Increased
capacity, improved passenger experience
Swedish open-access rail operator Snälltåget has announced
that it will be implementing S3 Passenger, the dynamic pricing, inventory management,
and reservation system offered by Sqills, a Siemens Mobility
subsidiary. Snälltåget
and Sqills have opted for a phased approach in terms of
implementation: The Swedish operator will benefit from a short time-to-market
while adding more functionalities in the months after go-live. One feature that
Snälltåget will be using from the start is the support for cross-operator
cooperation as a way for providing through tickets. This will further improve
passenger comfort when booking long-
distance trips. S3 Passenger is based on the
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and is part of the open, digital business
platform, Siemens Xcelerator, that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier,
faster and at scale.
